English language student summer accommodation

We provide self-catering accommodation for students on the pre-sessional academic English course, or the Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA).

When you apply to stay in University-allocated accommodation, you'll share the residence with others studying at the Centre for English Language and Foundation Studies (CELFS). You'll usually live in mixed-sex flats or in rooms along mixed-sex corridors. It's likely you'll live with students of the same nationality. All of our residences are non-smoking. Our accommodation is suitable for single, unaccompanied students. Couples, or students bringing their family should contact us for further help and advice. Please note we do not supply bedding or kitchen equipment in our residences. Students can order bedding and kitchen packs online.

To apply for accommodation you need to hold an unconditional offer and have paid your course deposit. This information needs to be processed on our system and can take a few working days to update.

Therefore if you are experiencing problems logging into the accommodation application, please make sure you have allowed enough time for you offer and deposit to be processed. If you are unable to login after a week of making your payment please email celfs-presessional@bris.ac.uk

14-week pre-sessional course accommodation

Students attending the 14-week presessional course are guaranteed an offer of accommodation for the duration of their pre-sessional course. You will spend the first 4 weeks of your tenancy in a residence that we will choose for you, and then after 4 weeks you will be moved into one of our pre-sessional residences. When you make your application, you can select what room type you would prefer for the second residence that you stay in. Due to large numbers of students in our residences in May, you are not able to express a preference of room or residence for the first part of your stay, however we will try to ensure you are placed as suitably as possible.

Your tenancy dates are Wednesday 16th May 2018 - Saturday 15th September 2018. The accommodation fee you pay will be comprised of four weeks rent in the residence you have been placed in initially plus 10 weeks in the pre-sessional residence:

Your pre-sessional tenancy contract will take you up to the move-in dates at all residences, except Woodland Court where there is a one week gap between moving out of your summer accommodation and into your postgraduate accommodation. Therefore we don't recommend Woodland Court as a choice for your postgraduate accommodation. If you do choose to apply for Woodland Court you will need to find somewhere else to stay during this week.
